My family revealed !!!!

Hana tagged me to play the 'reveal your family" game and since I still don't have any cake or presents to show you from my birthday YET (ahem ahem), I guess I may as well play the game. (Copper, I am going to get you a present, I promise, just be patient!)

Hana's parents are astronauts, judging by the picture she showed on her blog! How cool is that?! It must be super cool to have parents that fly around in space in red suits. I bet they bring her Tang and stuff.

Tang and astronauts are things MY secretary knows something about.... not because she is or was an astronaut, but because she watched them in the news growing up as a girl in central florida. Now-a-days astronauts going up in space are about as news worthy as interest rates going up. They just don't get the same press they did years ago when moms and dads and school kids all over America held their breath while the astronauts were in space. But anyway, I am a dog and I digress.

This is my Mom and Dad. They did not meet on-line but they might have if the Internet had been invented then. Instead they met at a McDonald's after a football game. This picture was taken only a couple of days ago.

Yeah, I didn't believe that either. ............

They got married and raised two red short haired dachshunds ....... and a girl and a boy. The girl and the boy each got married, moved far away and adopted cats. (The girl DID also adopt a wonderful dog named Hershey.)

My Dad works for a company that makes electricity the nuclear way. He teaches and writes and asks people questions, as far as I can tell from listening to him and Mom talk while they eat dinner. He likes 'hard to understand' books, computers and sci-fi shows on TV. He reads newspapers from all over the world on-line for fun but he does not read my blog! (I know .. it hurts, but I am getting over it.)

My Mom has a new part-time job (6 days) and I'm not sure WHAT she is doing just yet. All I know is she works at the same place she used to work but in a different part, and she is leaving me outside now and not in the evil kitchen. She likes children, knitting, exercising, writing and taking pictures with her digital camera. She also likes to decorate ...... but she has a hard time making decisions about decorating so it takes her a long time to decorate. She likes to try to keep up with technology and computers and cameras and phones and so she considers herself a cool grandmother (which she is now that Hershey's Mom made her and Dad grandparents.) She also knows that Tang tastes pretty sugary and not too much like orange juice. She doesn't think astronauts drink it anymore either, but we can ask Hana about that I guess.

I am not going to tag Pippen, Meeshka and Zach because they can tell about their secretaries if they want to.
